I ride my bike almost every day to work during the week. Ride as much as I can on weekends. I have an old P.O.S. ford truck I drive if its absolutely a must. Haven't put gas in the truck since february or so. Any chance I get I'm on the scoot!
Ditto. Year round by preference. It used to be 50 miles one way in the heat, "sharing", now it's 10 and more often rain than not, but it's the ride that counts.
I have a 6 year old cage that has 55,000 miles. These are all winter miles and taking my dogs for walks. I have a company car that I have to pay for gas out of each check, yet I leave it parked at work just so I can ride my bike back and forth. My bike is about 15 months old and has 28,000 miles and I live in Wisconsin. Get out of the cage and ride!
22 mile ride in to work, sometimes 100 miles or so home. I ride to work as often as possible, as long as I have a 75% chance of getting there semi dry, I'm riding. Still cold here in the mornings, some days as low as 24 deg, wear a few extra layers and turn the heated grips on. The ride home is always worth it!
